Oh snap I used to have that dvd

Wore that shit out

They ride a massive joint in to ring in the new year

Bob says he’s gonna miss Winterland even thought it’s “a real acoustical snakepit”

Awesome show
 
Was a little worried at the opener that Jer may have been super smacked out and drooly, but I think he just needed to warm up.
 
Hmm, actually digging Bobby's weird slide solo at the end of Stagger Lee, huh.
 
My man Howard Burchette is on a roll this afternoon. WNCU until 7.

The Sugar Mags through Big River is prob my most listened to stretch of Dead. The Blues Brothers were the opener along with New Riders of the Purple Sage) and you can find their set on YouTube too. Dan Akroyd is the one doing the countdown while Bill Graham rides the joint dressed as Father Time.
 
Here’s the Blues Bros set. Their band is fucking awesome and is the same from the movie other than Paul Schaffer is on keys here and I think it’s a different drummer.

 
I probably haven’t watched the full dvd for 15 years

Amazing
 
Michael Hurley live set on facebook on something called Quarantine Happy Hour, I think? Sounds cool.
 
have we already talked about what albums/cuts i need to listen to to get into the the Dead

how do you start a beginner off right

The Veneta, OR show was awesome. From the 70s. I’ve trailed off a bit but enjoy turning this one on every now and again,
 
Echo all these. The Europe '72 was what first got me kind of more interested when I had dismissed them in high school/most of college and was way more into Phish until my 30s.

I found myself watching The Grateful Dead Movie the other week thinking that it would be a good intro for people. I feel like they have some of their more famous songs there, they don't go too far out, but you get to see the chops and the fun.

The Scarlet>Fire from Cornell is amazing, for sure.

Try to find a nice, breezy Eyes of the World from when they changed the arrangement, so post '74 (I think anything between '77 and '79 is probably choice), though I love the Grateful Dead Movie version, too, where the changes are a little more abrupt.

I've had a few stops and starts with the Dead, though have been fully invested the last few years. I think also one of the records that got me a little more intrigued, maybe oddly for some, was Without A Net, for a more late-era, jazzy/jammy vibe.

Always loved Branford's sax on this Eyez.

Try to find the video version of Bird Song from Veneta, so you can see the naked man on the post!
